GitHub President Tom Preston-Werner Resigns After Investigation

GitHub said co-founder and President Tom Preston-Werner resigned in the wake of the company’s investigation into allegations of gender-based harassment.

Although the investigation found no evidence of harassment by Preston-Werner or his wife, there was “evidence of mistakes and errors of judgement,” GitHub CEO Chris Wanstrath said Monday in a blog post. Preston-Werner submitted his resignation, which the company has accepted, Github said.
